I’m imagining as years go by when/if this AI regex code breaks - nobody knows how it works or how to fix it. Am I wrong?

I’m not a programmer and I write shitty code but I can manage to write simple regex to create quick and dirty code. That’s a terrible programming choice I know but I never share my code. It’s just for me and it works.

    The difference is that even if no one understands some code base right now, the source code is intelligible and able to be learned. AI just spits out the results and there is not much possibility or use to reverse engineer a result.
